Description

Dhaulagiri is one of the tallest mountains on earth. Because the mountain is so tall, the morning light hits its peak long before the rest of the world below. To shoot this scene, I woke up well before sunrise on Khopra Ridge in Nepal. I made the short but strenuous hike to the highest nearby vantage point, and I stood with my tripod set up in the freezing cold at 12,000′ so that I could capture the first rays of daylight.
